JOHN H. HAULENBEEK AND GILBERT F. BBOVVN, OF PHILADELPHIA, PA.

NECKTIE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 312,118, dated February 10, 1885.

Application filed January 18, 1884.

' and GILBERT F. BROWN, of the city and county of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Neck Ties or Scarfs and in Collar Attachments Therefor, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to made-up neck ties or scarfs in which the neck band or strap is permanently attached to the tie or scarf at one end, and is to be detachably secured at the other end to the tie or scarf.

Our invention consists in a neck tie or scarf provided on its inner side with a permanentlyattached and inwardl y-projectin g pin adapted to engage with a collar-button having a hole or socket extending axially inward from its head, and also provided in the free end of its hand or strap with eyelet-holes for engagement with said pin. This combination is advantageous,because the engagement of the pin with the socket in the button will prevent the neck tie or scarf from riding up and shifting laterally from its place, and because the strap or band which encircles the neck prevents the pin from becoming disengaged from the socket, wherein it fits loosely, and will prevent the tie or scarf from becoming canted, as would be possible when the pin and socket are cylindric, which is their simplest form.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a necktie embodying our invention and a collar-button to be used with the tie, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view illustrating the method of applying the tie and button to a shirt band and collar.

Similar letters of reference designate corre sponding parts in both the figures.

A designates the tie proper, and A the neck band or strap, which is securely attached at one end, a, to the tie, andjs detachably secured to the tie at the other end, a. The end portion a of said band is furnished with a number of eyelet-holes, b, and may be made of leather or other suitably-strong material.

To the back of the tie A is secured a plate, a, which is attached by sewing or otherwise, and from said plate there projects inwardly a pin, 0, on which any one of eyelet-holes b may be slipped. In this example of my in- (No model.)

vention the end a of the band A is slipped over the pin 0, and then secured by sewing to the tie A.

B designates the neckband of a shirt, and O G designate the two portions of a collar, secured to the neckband by a collar-button, D. This collar-button maybe made of bone, metal, ivory, or other material of which such buttons are ordinarily made; but it differs from the ordinary collar-buttons in'having a hole or socket, (1, extending axially from its head inward, and in this instance entirely through the button. The hole or socket is of a size to receive the pin 0, as shown in Fig. 2, and the button is in effect an eyelet-button. The ends 0 O of the collar are secured to the neckband B of the shirt in the usual way, and after one of the eyelet-holes?) is slipped over the pin 0 the pin is inserted in the hole or socket d, as most clearly shown in Fig. 2. The engagement of the pin 0 with the hole or socket d in the button will prevent the neck tie or band from riding up on the collar and from slipping around the collar, and the band or strap A prevents the pin 0 from becoming disengaged from the socket (1, although it fits loosely therein.

WVe do not claim as of our invention a tie or scarf having an eyelet or eyelet-hole in the front and eyelet-holes in the end of the strap or band. Such a tie or scarf is adapted to be used only in connection with a collar-button having a detachable head, which must be ornamental, as it is in full view on the front of the scarf. In putting on sucha scarf it is necessary, first, to insert the shank or postof the button through the button-hole in the neckband; then to put the button-holes in the ends of the collar on the shank or post; then to put the end of the strap or band of the tie or scarf, and finally the tie or scarf itself, on the shank or post, and finally to secure the head of the button on the shank or post. When the tie or scarf is thus secured, it can never betaken off without releasing the collar and the liability of losing the collar-button.

Our scarf has no eyelet-hole in the front, and the collar'button does not extend through the scarf. \Ve use a collar-button of ordinary form, except that a hole is drilled axially into or through it. The collar is secured by this ICO button in the usual way, and in putting on the lar-button having a hole or socket extending scarf all that is necessary is to. place the baud axially inward from its head, and also proaround the neck and over the pin on the scarf, vided in the free end of its band or strap with and to then insert the said pin into the hole eyeletholes for engagement with said pin,sub-

What we claim as our invention, and desire JOHN H. HAULENBEEK. to secure by Letters Patent, is GILBERT F. BROWN.
